The invention relatesto snail-strip having holders for supporting the nztils and nails corriedby said holders in uniform or regular relation to each other.

Referring `to the dra-wings, Figure 1 is a View in side elevation of the f ront section. of the nail-holding strip. Fig. 2 is et vertical section thereof. Fig. 3 is et pion view thereof. Fig. 4 represents the front section as united to Ithe rcur section. Fig. 5 represents the complete nail-holding strip in section and Fig. G is n View in perspective enlarged. of the strip. Figs'and 8 illustratie modiicetions, to which reference is hereinafter mudo.

The strip comprises the flut continuous scction (t of flexible num-.rial und one or more sections ct'fttmched to thc fiat contin nous scction, :mil each of which sections ce has an ou Lwurdly-cxtcnlin g perforated ledge or projcction,iu which proieotions the nuiiszirc heid against the side 'of the strip. The section o' may be made of one piece of flexible material bent, as represent-ed in Fig. 2, to form the two nail holding projections a2, or it muy be formechits represented in Fig. 8,by bcndingthc edges of a strip outward to form the two projections 0.201- in seperate'augular pieces, as represe-ntedin Fim?, Where each port of the section o' is formed of a stripv bent at right 4o spaced in relation to each other an of suitv able size to receive and hold the nails placed in them, and in Figs. 5 and 6 thentils a4 are represented es in place and held to the face of the strip by these perforated projections and at e uniform distance from each other. 5o

It will be understood of course that the section o. is united to the section a. by peste, glue, or other similar adhesive substance.

Hoving thus fully described myinvention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Pattent oi' the United Statese As an improved article of manufacture a neil-strip comprising e long holding strip of flot, flexible material, projections extending laterally from the stripv provided with 6o perforations, the upper one of which is the longer and into which perforar-tions nails are inserted, und from which they are removed by being,r driven downward through said holes, the whole forming a means for the trunsportation und feeding ot' loose headless neils, as und for the purposes described.
